🏛️ Preserving Our Heritage, Giving Back to the Community!
Students attending the Award in the Use of Limes and Mortars for Pointing in Houses of Character, delivered in collaboration with the Xagħra Scouts Group, had the opportunity to put their newly acquired skills into practice by restoring the courtyard of the Scouts Centre, located within premises that are over 300 years old.
This initiative combines practical training in traditional restoration techniques with a meaningful contribution to the local community. The restored courtyard will continue to serve the community as a space for activities and gatherings, helping preserve the character of these historic premises for future generations.
A big thank you to the Xagħra Scouts Group for their collaboration and support in making this initiative possible!
👏 A wonderful example of how vocational education, traditional craftsmanship and community engagement can work hand in hand to safeguard our heritage.
